My poem "Eyelash" will be published in a new book called "Naked Among Thistles". The book will be released this month and it celebrates LGBT culture in Scotland. I am so excited about this new book and hope to read my poem at the launch event this month.

Arts In Fife creator, Stuart Russell BEM, is working with Fife College Students Association to deliver an arts page in their monthly newsletter. This is an exciting opportunity and hopes to introduce students to local creativity.

"This will be a fun project and shall further promote the work I do. I am really excited about this opportunity. Sharing local arts with local students will be brilliant!" - Stuart Russell BEM

I have been awarded a British Empire Medal (BEM) for services to the arts in Fife. It is really great to be rewarded for six hard years of voluntary work. My community projects, Arts In Fife & Arts In Britain are very important to me and I just want to say thankyou for all the support. I hope to continue my work talking about, writing about, reading about, creating, displaying and researching art. I am passionate about it and I hope it shows through my six years of service to volunteering and the arts. - Stuart Russell (22)
